Plain-Language Summary
The goal is to reduce behavioral disturbances and make coordinated, specialist care easier to access for people with Lewy body dementia. A "tele-neurohub" links an interdisciplinary team with the patient and an in-home caregiver over Zoom to assess symptoms, review and recommend medication adjustments such as weighing levodopa's motor benefits against possible hallucination risk, coach caregivers in behavior-management techniques, and plan follow-up care. The study seeks adults 18 to 100 with a clinician-confirmed diagnosis of mild to moderate Lewy body dementia, who have internet and a Zoom-compatible device, a caregiver living with them who will participate, and fluency in English.
